To save a flagging man's mag, an American photo team (Lorenzo Balducci,
Nancy de Lucia, Roberta Gemma, Clio Evans, Daniel Baldock) go to Italy to
do an erotic torture shoot in an authentic castle. They are greeted by
lord of the castle Mr Fischer (Dallas Walker), who seems to be a tad
eccentric, and his mother (Elda Alvigini), who seems to be quite insane.
Mr Fischer takes special interest in production assistant Helen (de
Lucia), but at first this seems harmless, as she seems to only remind him
of a lost love ... Our motley crew finds out more about the castle
they're staying at, like that it was used as a torture chamber by the
inquisition, and the Nazis - first and foremost Fischer's own uncle -
performed evil experiments on human specimens here as well, plus legend
has it that the place is built on one of the Seven Gates of Hell, and this
knowledge sure enough makes all of our heroes rest uneasy the first night
... but troubles really start the second day at the castle, when they give
the castle a good lookover, and one of them, the photographer (Balducci),
ends up dead - killed apparently. And in the commotion that causes, Helen
is abducted by Mr Fischer, who wants to turn her into his old love - and
things only get out of hands from here on, but not the way you'd expect
... Bloody Sin might not be the greatest or most refined
films of them all, granted, but it's a reminder why we liked Italian
horror flicks so much back in the day: The movie's based on a wild
concept, it moves at a steady pace, there are plenty of well-placed gore
sequences, it does feature some very pretty women, and there's quite a bit
of nudity - in short, it's a fun little film, maybe not all that
intellectually challenging, but totally enjoyable ... so do enjoy!!!
